welcome back to watching r.t. live from moscow these are the top stories a new twist in jewel in the sun just game with the british authorities as we get the senator appeals for asylum ecuador's embassy in london after losing his legal battle against extradition to sweden. page its convicted former leader hosni mubarak is reported to be clinically dead after a stroke the country is in a limbo after the presidential runoff vote as protests rage over the military's relentless hold in power. mainstream media goes all out against those opposing intervention in syria. or it's morning in

a war games to be held in the country involving thousands of warships jets and tanks. next to candidate perspective on the syrian uprising from a senior aide to the country's president. political and media advisor to the syrian leader gives us the view from inside its regime. thank you. for saying that siobhan political and media advisor to syria's president it's great to have you with us here today what about to be here so it's now official u.n. had a peacekeeping force has confirmed that syria is in a state of a civil war what do you say to that statement well i don't think that this could work and then they're put in the three we've put this statement saying that it is

not really but it is sponsible to say that syria is in a state of civil war especially as we are fighting. terrorism i think the media in syria or some media has a war on syria that has a life of its own well talking about media you know when you read stories on syria in the internet media they often end with a disclaimer saying that the exact number of the victims in this conflict cannot be known because the syrian government doesn't give access to journalists on the other hand syrian government also says that the western media is very biased especially on whom they call terrorists. my first question is do you think there can be trust restored between the western media and the syrian government or this media war will only escalate while there are hundreds of journalists who go into syria during this crisis it's not true that we've been given access to foreign journalists hundreds

of freshened written of the game hundreds of. foreign journalists from all over the world from india try and. they were as from all over the world and so it's not true the journalists are not given access to syria. but also there are. tens a pleased of the tran and whole made themselves part of the war on syria and citing sectarian wars fabricating facts about what's happening in our country but the media war itself can it do some real damage or hands on it can do a lot of damage the media war because when your. religious men fighting sectarian hatred among the syrian people there are many people who fall victim to do

this incitement unfortunately the media war throughout history could be very damaging and very very effective so you feel like syria's government could lose this in this conflict because of media war no i don't think so i don't think that extent but it's definitely a cause thing. lives of our people costing us the harmonious way of life you know we often hear especially at lately the syrian government pointing fingers to the others who are supplying arms to the unknown terrorist groups who are these others can you name the countries really the gnome but i would like to say to you that. the syrian government is money the issue the issue is syria the issue is the unity and safety and sovereignty and prosperity of syria that is the issue here but you surely have your own version not official but your own version who may these people be who are helping the terrorists to kill peaceful people like you say i think even

though there were the. say that very. firm to groups we don't know who these people are we've been not to who they belong to some leadership i mean. they were and forces and they would say to you this is the most the the problem in syria that you know whole. that is. the problem you know cooperation with the u.n. is critical for syria safeguarding it against a military invasion but with observers on the ground you know there was still hope for some balanced solution. but now that the units are abruptly ended the mission and they left how big is this threat of foreign intervention in syria while i think the observers have made many statements saying that the syrian government corporate it did but it was with us they did not stop the mission this off fund the mission we all saw fear for their safety because the syrian people are. also afraid that

some observers could be targeted by the groups and we would hate that to happen all we hear in the western media is the possibility of foreign invasion foreign intervention how do you assess the chances for indonesia i don't think that is that is possible in a sense because if you take what the sudan and prices and there are all. china would the door twice and what would what this is with the stand off that it is the syrian people who should decide the future of syria i don't feel that. a military strike is possible and then if you look at what happened in libya or in yemen or you look would see the consequences of what happened and i think the west is quite aware of where things are in the middle east

and i hope there are enough reasonable people in the word to weigh actions but it carefully and i feel that there's no consideration for such a thing because of course you do have russia and china support as far as stake here and security council goes but that didn't help much in the iraqi scenario. you know they want around the u.n. security council resolution and invaded iraq what other means do you guys have except russia live from iraq also links of course of course countries learn from their experiences i have no doubt we all learn from our experiences i have no doubt that the west learned from afghanistan. and the from libya also that that military strike doesn't the old woods come with the flow or the result doesn't achieve the best result that they hoped for i think the world is the from now and i think. it's

no longer one polar system i think russia and china now have a safe and international adding to that relief of most people and the world because we have suffered from one polar system and we're happy with the urgency of the bipolar system with the emergence of the brics and i think the words changing but look what just happened in libya for instance i mean the u.s. and their partners they have a perfect hundred percent track record when it comes to removing they had so foreign states that they want removed and i'm keeping in mind the result they have shown for bashar assad to go what makes you think that this could be different scenario and come to see how much russia has lived from by libyan to not know for example russia have to change. the political scene in the word by making an excellent stand in support of people who decide their future and is it

democracy to decide in foreign countries to move ruler i mean this is the way. or is it the people who should decide if it is not the only talking about syria is it the will curse it to say to the british people you should move camera or does it do. british people who should decide why that doesn't apply to other countries is it because of the colin who got money over the other people is it because the west doesn't believe that a people are equal to western people in their right to choose their own system at this is a question i pose a democracy means the people of the country should decide their future should decide who rules them and then what did the syrian people achieve throughout the sea it was boycotting roads killing they are not losing

their army and police people we are the ones who are losing it and when they talk about libya what did they say they said we didn't lose an american soldier but thousands tens of thousands of libyan people lost their lives. so does that not matter here talking about libya what are the implications of so much weaponry going into syria now what happens once the conflict is over and you have all this uncontrolled arms country full of arms what happened libya i think you can say that the conflict is over unless unless we all these arms are withdrawn from the street from the people that is what should happen these are part of the conflict and in fact those who are smuggling arms and money into syria are the ones what igniting the conflict there are these foreign and

external factors particularly the media war smuggling arms and smuggling money into syria is a huge part of the problem in syria but can you do something about it at this point or it's out of your control of the international community who should also do something about it because those countries who say that their support kofi annan the plan and kofi annan plan say and the first item stopping armaments and stopping violence from all parties in all its forms some skeptics say that the reason a humanitarian corridor for people in syria's most troubled place homes is not possible is because syrian government is afraid along with the humanitarian aid will come something else is that true that not through that we be incorporating with the human that they're in agencies but until now we haven't seen anything of the humanitarian aid arriving to syria we called it the absolutely fully with the

humanitarian agencies there's no problem so there's a humanitarian corridor open in homes right now there is no human to fit in code or i don't know where the negotiations are but there there is no need for humanity and corridor but there are assistance that. this coming and being distributed through that of the cross under the cousin do you feel like the allegations about people being badly in need of food and medical aid is exaggeration. extremely exaggerated you are also on that black list of sanctioned syrian officials that us united states issued what does it feel to be like on a sanctioned list sanctioned by united state you mean personally for me doesn't change anything to be sanctioned no i refused to go to the united states in two thousand and five and they sent me money in the invitations of brookings and for the money institute the go on the give a lecture there i did them because i don't like to be treated. at the

american airport the way they treat people they probably treat all people like this but i don't like to be treated that way and i don't have to go to the united states and by the way they didn't sanction me they proved my assets and they know i don't have a single dollar not only in the united states or anywhere in the world so their countries as many assets of the like because they don't have any of them my asset is their love for my country and for my people and all these you know propaganda movements to put their name or so on to want to put my name on sanction means nothing to me do books of mine are being sold in the united states i thought a duke university i thought richard and university a third book of mine is now accepted to be published in the united states so i thought this should be embarrassed to put my name on the sergeant not me who should be embarrassed this should be embarrassed sanish i want thank you very much for this interview thank you very much thank you. you know.

a huge decision the power of mind to mark the change in the can down the road this is how many see the reason to go she is in moscow regarding iran's nuclear program or other western powers to go. and you twist and join us on this kind of mouse game with the british authorities as we can he's editor appeals for asylum at the worst embassy in london after losing his legal battle against extradition to sweden. egypt's convicted former leader hosni mubarak is reported to be clinically dead after a stroke the country is in a limbo after the presidential runoff as protests rage over the military's relentless hold on power. the mainstream media goes all out against those opposing a ranch in syria with high top reports warning of imminent war games to be held in the country involving thousands of warships jets and tanks. all right straight to the world of sports with here now we know now that we have our final eight teams at

the european championships we certainly do that means the quarterfinal lineup is not known or you know we'll have a look at how the last two teams booked their place last night in just a second. thanks for joining us this is sports today over the next ten minutes including all this fine stuff. then there were eight france and england secure the last two quarter final berths twenty two of. course i'd love to quest russia's basketball squad gear up for another limpid qualifying event in venice we like their last chance to make a living games this. staged fights mike tyson's eventful life is to be turned into a one month show disputed truth heard it rolled with. treating stuff that's coming

up shortly but football first with a quarterfinal lineup at euro two thousand and twelve is no known england and france breaking co-hosts ukraine's hearts by securing the two qualifying spots from group d. partridge reports from kiev. so it's england and france to go through from group d. our respective new play italy and spain in the quarter finals of euro two thousand and twelve well first up at the donbass arena internet skate was england rawn ukraine ill and a controversial victory at that it was an england man who was making his return wayne rooney who missed the best chance of the off running back after two match ban and his mansion on teammate ashley young found a cross on the left hand side that rooney practically unchallenged could only head white however three minutes after the interval i really swiftly made amends the cross this time coming from the right hand side from steven gerrard his cross beat the goalkeeper who fumbled and rooney couldn't have got any easier goal heading in from one yard ads well after an hour of ukrainians i tried to fight back and it was controversy milewski he had it over he had

a free header and he missed the controversy came just a minute later he beat the defense and he just the hand of joe hart it looked like john terry had cleared the ball off the line however a replay showed that the ball had crossed the line all the officials missed it and again raises the question of goal line technology is a major championships and it finished angel and won ukraine will roy hodgson he's now in between two wins remember and a draw and they go through as group d. winners and one next by italy so then we turn to kiev where france lost two nil to sweden swedish captains last a neighbor him of it said sweden they had to play for their own or after two defeats and they were already eliminated and after forty minutes all the toivonen neatly made those words come true he managed to hit the post but stehman is off to the interval it was either him of it himself but the swedes one across from several austin was acrobatic you met by the ac milan with a sixteen yard volley as spectacular started to put sweden one nil up while france they've been content to sit back but they did push forward olivier giroud who is

about to sign for arsenal next season seven minutes from time he missed a sitter he had it over but the swedes made him pay said last and turning from provided to goalscorer in the dying minutes kristin wilhelm's and he hit the bar and lawson was there with a rebound to make it to you know of france's twenty three match unbeaten run comes to an end they finish second in group they were next play spain. now despite crushing out in the group stages of the european championships former russian manager dick advocaat was the highest paid coach of the competition his side won only one match at the finals but the dutchman still received almost nine million dollars for the past year but twice more than any of his counterparts at the games it's a manager she's sorry prandelli sits second earning four million but unlike russia italy did reach the last eight just below that is germany's walking love. who will be coaching lokomotiv moscow next season was the lowest paid euro twenty twelve coach on a relatively paltry two hundred thousand dollars per annum. staying with football

on according to media reports in england russia striker puddle pogrebnyak is on the brink of joining premier league side reading the russian international believed to be on his way to the newly promoted side on a three year deal the only touch twenty eight year old spent the end of last season on loan for them from german sites that start scoring six goals in a dozen league matches reading are now owned by russian businessman anton of each. but you know this is national basketball team are preparing to head off to venice we left for a last shot at a limpet qualification this week the squad trained one final time in moscow on choose their on michael kravchenko caught up with them then. one win and one loss that's how the russian national basketball teams played out the two recent friendlies against macedonia and greece but team russia's coach feels the results are the least of his worries when playing in practice matches the results to me or less important you know i've never been a big practice game guy in terms of. the results and it's always proven to be the

case that that we do better in the in the actual tournaments than we do in practice games and i hope that continues team captain andrei kirilenko who's had some highs and lows in the past season losing out with says come on bianco is in the upper league final but snatching up the most valuable player award at the twenty two ground also reiterated his coach sentiments saying listen friendlies are not about getting a result but really trying the different sets are no different back combinations and different rosters on the four line ups and i think very very glad he knows what he's doing and we're definitely fighting to win the game but i don't think it's a big big issue for us you know to be very you know concentrate on results right now we we already showed everybody will come play here great the great quality of the game around we're going to continue to the teams only n.b.a.

star timothy must go a towering figure a two point one six meters says he's having to adapt to the european style of play i fear where you know why try to bring small things you know. from interviews sometimes doesn't work because you were going bust people you know you've got to. be good at being the same same way every team so serious different friends and family with a few allowed in to watch their loved ones train one more time it will then make stage of preparations. and even sports minister vitale not cool found the time to pop in to meet and greet to coach and play is the minister of sport was very gentlemanly as he always is and let us know that he expected us to call the far. which is which is understandable what he should do you also said he was speaking so he wishes this good luck to him and we hope to emerge here and all of the russian fans who have this training session concludes with russia's national basketball

teams preparations on home soil they will now fly off to the us where they will play another three friendly games twice against great britain and once against that the way before heading out to caracas venezuela where the olympic qualifying tilman will begin on the second of july much of the moscow top brings us to rugby wringman tough finally got a win on their tour of south africa a youthful english i fit thrush in the northern barbarians the visitors suffered their second straight defeat to the south african national side at the weekend so were determined to get off the mark on choose day no nonsense this time march with nick speaking his claim for a regular spot between the first half the bof a fullback simply unstoppable as and then went in at the break thirty one ten op the variance did get more into things in the second half solid scrum work paying dividends here. massive pressure from the men in white men to host would never get close enough to make a series imprint into the final scoreline fifty seven thirty one in mentality
